the entire concept of 'adventurer guilds' in the genre sickens me. Lazy writing to try and skip past the need for actual plot hooks, backgrounds, plausible reactions etc...'adventurers' should be too rare to have become a meme in their own world, otherwise they are just plain old mercenaries.

Overall, I could easily see something like Goblin Slayer's greenskin race thriving if one keeps in mind that medieval era society, petty rivalries between human nobility and various classes, small minded people in important roles - a lot of factors can contribute to problems like marauding raiders getting unadressed until said problems grow tall enough to reach and touch someone truly important.

>So then what's the problem with a mercenary's guild? It seems more like your issue is with semantics than the idea itself. Murderhobos murderhobo better together.

no problem, but they are an entity and existence of entirely different tone from adventure guilds as usually portrayed. A mercenary to rest of society would always rate somewhere between 'tomorrow's bandit' and 'disposable thug'. Meanwhile, adventure guilds in the genre of fantasy are portrayed as an idealized, noble and exotic profession. When they are a thing, they are always well organized and self-regulated.

They are an attempt to keep the 'cool' parts of mercenary existence - being self employed, free, armed, potentially quickly rich, without the bad parts - mercenaries do violence for money, people who have money prefer them to get shit done and than go away because now that they've stopped paying said mercenaries, someone else might. For people who don't have money a mercenary is just yet another someone who might stab them tomorrow for the right price.

No one likes having organized groups of self-employed armed people hanging around.

The problem can be dealt with by not allowing them to self-regulate. As you said, nobody wants a bunch of self-employed murderhobos armed to the teeth sitting around town waiting for people to pay them to go kill things. However, if it's an actual legitimate organization with accountability and oversight, then that makes it have a more realistic place within the setting, plus it opens up more avenues for conflict with the PCs when they inevitably cross the line or piss off some corrupt asshole. Anybody who goes rogue no pun intended would draw a lot of ire from the organization and its allies, which probably means that your recruits are going to be generally respectable, or at least not autistic enough to pass muster.

>what is this?

Feng Shui is a TTRPG based on Hong Kong martial arts movies with considerable artistic licence taken. It combines time travel, cybernetic gorillas, ancient magic, and dystopian police states, all of which can be either deadly serious or laughable depending on your tastes. There are two editions: the original run released in the 1990s, and a newer edition released around 2012 with the help of crowdfunding. The older one has MANY more splatbooks and some more interesting rules; personally, I consider it the superior version.

>how does it play?

It's a rules-light system, but not in the "the entire rulebook fits on a sheet of paper" way. There are still many options for character customization and progression, and the combat rules are complex enough for those options to be meaningful without becoming a slog. To put it simply, characters have four base stats, and several sub-stats within them which can be differentiated if you want them to be. Otherwise, they have the same value as the base stat (so a big strong character could have high strength and low base agility, but high manual dexterity within the agility stat).

The dice are also simple: it uses a 2d6/delta-5 system, where you roll a positive die and a negative die, then add any relevant modifiers to the roll, with special rules for rolling boxcars. No epic natural 20 memes, I promise. It also features a wonderful, game-approved way to take the piss out of rules lawyers (pic 2).

Combat is abnormal, but not in a bad way. Rolling initiative means each character generates a number of action points ("shots"), and characters take turns spending them until everyone is out, at which point your roll another round ("sequence") of initiative. The person with the most points acts first, and you can only spend a few at a time, so everyone runs out at roughly the same time.

Neat. Looking forward to it.

>>424034

The primary reason is that I have all the old books, and thus I can share them more easily. The reason I haven't looked too much into the new books is because they just don't have as many (although they do have more than the last time I checked), and I dislike the changes to the rules and setting.

>Rules

From some light skimming, apparently character customization has been simplified significantly, which I disliked. 1E is a rules light system where you can make a character in 10 minutes, but it does support more complex customization if players choose to do that (and I'm forever a GM, so I do choose to do that because it gives me something to do). The primary/secondary stat split, which I really liked, is now gone completely and characters simply have Attack, Defence, and Skill values which are completely independent. It was already a pretty simple system, but they made it even simpler: what they wanted to facilitate with this change, I'm unsure.

Experienced in 1E is technically a 0-6 point scale, but it's realistically a 3-6 point scale provided you don't have any That Guys, with 3 as the base and 4+ being for outstanding successes and character development. I can see why they'd want to change it because leaving that stuff to the GM's discretion can invite petty bickering, but I play with other adults at my table and I think we can all avoid that by being adults. In 2E, you gain experience automatically by attuning to a Feng Shui site, and then you roll a die at the end of a session - the more sessions you don't roll successfully, the bigger a bonus you get to doing so. Spending experience is more direct; I don't think players save up points as frequently.

The setting is something that is mostly personal preference, but I think the 1E time junctures do a good job of covering all bases.

Okay, I've read a bit of the base book. I like that it uses a tick system for initiative where you get to act multiple times per "round", that schticks allow for multiple mechanically different ways to heal folks and that the game encourages descriptiveness as well as exploring/conquering places to improve character's abilities.

That being said, the fact that you can get a LOT more instances to act as well as going first by pumping speed is a problem aknowledged in the book, the system seems to really straight jacket you into your type (probably because it is trying to recreate action movies that don't usually feature character arcs) and the number of them is fairly limited. If I make a crusading priest character from an early junction I probably want more martial arts skill and less guns, but the system doesn't really support these basic ideas other than saying "ask your GM" .

Overall I like the system though I'll probably never get the chance to play it considering how every tabletop group I hear about is playing some color of 5E or Pathfinder. I'd also probably want to play somewhere other than China since I feel like many of the action movies I've seen that relate to this take place in American venues, probably because they were produced in Hollywood. I really liked "Big Trouble in Little China" for example and I feel like that would be harder to pull off in Hong Kong.

Also from how you describe it 2E seems considerably worse than its predecessor in all regards except quality of illustration, and even that is subjective if you consider uniqueness to be a positive trait. Advancement also seems even more restricted.

Can't really say much about the mechanics, as I've only learned and remember 2e. I figured simplicity was it's charm.

>In 2E, you gain experience automatically by attuning to a Feng Shui site

I find that sorta bullshit myself and waived that away. I just tell the players to pick something from the "awesome it up" section of the archetype when appropriate.

>The setting is something that is mostly personal preference, but I think the 1E time junctures do a good job of covering all bases

I kinda waive away the setting most of the time. However I did read trough the setting of 1, and I have to admit it is indeed more fleshed out. The 2e junctures are rather vague, and are just begging to be changed, or have players be brought into a custom juncture of your own invention.

I am also allergic to time shenanigans, so I prefer alternate dimensions rather than time travel. Yes I know the books talk about that, but that is not the point.

>>424044

>the system seems to really straight jacket you into your type

Yes, there should be some guidelines about mixing/modifying archetypes. As it stands you would have to play from scratch, and hope you don't make something accidentally broken.

>Overall I like the system though I'll probably never get the chance to play it considering how every tabletop group I hear about is playing some color of 5E or Pathfinder

>>424044

>the system seems to really straight jacket you into your type and the number of them is fairly limited

Yeah, that's a runoff effect of it being developed as a rules-light system with very possible/frequent character death. Then again, I don't think there are too many shticks, so it's not as though you're losing too much by being locked into one of them. If you wanted to multi-class (say, your martial artist becomes a police officer), then you could always just pick one of the unique cop shticks depending on your type and add it to your character sheet. The risk of creating an OP character isn't much of a risk because most of the system is shooting from the hip anyway.

>"ask your GM"

Very true. I've criticized badly constructed systems like D&D5e for doing this, so I must concede that it is a problem within the system. I suppose the only saving grace is that it won't be encountered very often. If you have casual players like me then you can just run one-offs every couple months and pretend like none of the other stuff ever happened.

I wish I had more dedicated players ;_;

>play somewhere other than China

Have a look at some of the other splatbooks. Seed of the New Flesh in particular has a global scale due to the one world government. The prefab adventure The Cancer Factory takes place almost entirely in North America.

So is this going to be fun? It's already been funded, so it's a safe bet that it's coming out, but I'm wondering if anyone here who has experience with deck building games has any idea if it will actually be worth playing.

Has anyone played a proper political rpg where the characters govern & rule? I'm interested in how long it lasted as most people seem to prefer the murder-hobo route.

Sure, there's always the chance to make your own setting. Most of us in the end will make one at some point. All the same, there was something great about cracking open a published setting book to pour through these labors of love, properly polished through editing teams and productive meetings. And all that hard work, right in your hands. And in one or more tomes, you hold the knowledge to an entire universe for you to explore with your friends. While in-depth setting books aren't as easy to come back nowadays, they were a thing of beauty back in the day.

So, let's talk about your favorite gaming settings, doesn't even have to be D&D. Preferably old school (pre New Millenium, maybe even prior to that). Let's celebrate our favorite moments and worlds, recanting glories of days gone by.

For starters, what's your favorite classic setting and why?

Nor does one necessarily preclude the other. Faulty logic.

As per company control, the statement was not that Gygax had full control, but that Gygax had ousted Arneson and the rest of his group. At the time, Kaye being dead, the board was Gygax and Blume as directors; and then the Kuntz brothers, Carr, Sutherland, Megarry, and Arneson. The Minnesota group intended to put Melvin Blume on as a third director, didn't secure the votes, and were ousted. Arneson left, Megarry left, and both Kuntz brothers left. This being around '76. The degree of control Gygax maintained did slip over time. This all being accounted for by Kuntz, as well as by checking the records - your intuition, like your logic, is faulty.

Once you strip out the silliest stuff, Spelljammer is pretty much the perfect science fantasy setting for me.

Plus, the 1889-space Polyhedron article just adds to the tech aspect for me, even though I don't play Space 1889...

Current 40k general is in autosage, and I'm fucking proud of this one, so I figured I'd post it here.

Militarum Air-Mobile Chirurgical Hospices, or M.A.C.H. is a supplement for Only War (and by extension any of the FFG 40kRPGs) about playing trauma surgeons behind the lines.

It features five new Specialties, and a detailed random table-based Chirurgery system (based on actual consultation with an actual doctor) that allows you to diagnose and treat anything from a sprained toe to a goddamn live bolter round embedded in someone's brain. Dead serious, this thing is fully 35% random tables. It's good shit.

Do you run custom rule sets and content in your campaigns? If not, why not?

I adapted the e5 system, simplified combat, got rid of classes to fit my setting and revamped skills And spells. My setting is high fantasy with some gaslamp.

Summer is here and so is all the extra free time that often comes with it. That means it's time to start working on your homebrew games again! Your time is now, /tg/. It's time to make game.

Tell me, what are you working on? Where are you stuck? Have you playtested anything yet?

As a further topic of discussion, let's discuss what makes a game good. What are the elements of good game design and what can be done to ensure that your final product doesn't end up as a fantasy heartbreaker, or something completely derivative? There's no one perfect game that can suit the needs of every group GURPS, but there are certainly ways to ensure that the gameplay experience of a game lives up to the intentions put into it. Discuss.

Man do I love your post. I'm curious, tho, about applying it to systens I dislike.

< Pathfinder

>> Ease of play

While I'm not a fan of 1dX system, unless someone brought up an obscure rule, like how high characters can jump, we could play whole sessions without opening a book.

<< Crunch

Monk vs AM BARBARIAN vs Wizard. 'nuff said, it's a broken mess.

<< Player options

Trap options galore which can have characters down in one round encounters meant to challenge the whole group or have your character remain completely useless.

< Shadowrun

<< Ease of play

The complexity of tracking wound penalties, recoil, range, visibility, upgrades, implants, wind force, spread, ammo type and burst fire modifiers GUARANTEES no roll you'll ever make will both take under 2 minutes and be accurate.

>> Crunch

Curiously not so unbalanced. For a game this complex, very few characters will end up not contributing at all, and most who will probably were made thay way on purpose. The decking shit should be NPC work tho. Plus the lore is pretty good.

>> Player Options

Varied. Significant. Often, even without perusing the very complex rule set, you end up with a viable character. Exception duly noted of Aspected Mages. Also, reagents, foci and programs are a bit too obscure.

Huh. Seems to me that there's a degree aspect that's important to denote with your theory.

1. Tracking Fatigue per round is going to be tedious and will be forgotten if not at every round.

2. I expect a character at 0 hp becomes unconscious / dying. If he is, what is the point of adding a single point? Might as well max him out.

3. Even with DR, seasoned heroes with a single hit die fighting in a system that uses no bell curve and thus extremely fickle seems like prone to frequent, unwanted and inevitable character deaths.

May I suggest you take a look at the Epic 6 rule set for D&D 3.5? I made a variation for Star Wars saga, otherwise another horrible d20 game, and it worked excellently, avoiding HP bloats while still giving the feeling of progress.

4. Why use d6 for initiative? As much as I hate d20, unless you want modifiers to matter a lot, granularity and the lack of a bell curve seems desirable in that instance, the thing d20 is actually suited best to do.

Working on a homebrew D&D system that is a mashup of 3.5e, 5e, and a bit of Pathfinder. All set in a homebrew setting called "Red Tide". It utilizes the simplicity of advantage from 5e, while keeping the3.5e multi-classing options. Characters get stat boosts based on the races and classes they choose. I have created a spell resistance system, created 2 new classes, the Shaman and the Dread Knight. I am hoping to start playing here in the next month. Maybe after it is all done ill make a link available to those that are interested.

I know you've gone a long time without a reply, but this post caught my attention (it's my first time dipping my head into this thread, or homebrewing in general). Initially I was opposed to your idea on principle, but after some consideration, I think it has potential if you pair it with other mechanics.

Broadly speaking, this seems like the kind of dice system that encourages players to revel in minutiae, but without being simulationist, and you should be proud of doing what I previously would have thought to be impossible. Thus, as you noted in one of your drawback points, how do you make this system engaging within the context of a larger TTRPG? I think the solution may be to take a more generic approach to the larger details: instead of doing full prep, you could measure story progress in "narrative units" that allow you to advance towards a conclusion, or move away from it depending on your successes and failures within a specific situation.

There were some Dungeon Generator and Adventure Generator-style PDFs in the share thread a while ago. I'm not sure if I saved them, but that's what I'm imagining would pair well: the party can focus on the simple stuff in terms of slashing monsters and the larger story beats are automatically generated. Perhaps the party's progress within the story could be its own object, and the more the party succeeds at minor tasks, the higher its modifiers are: when you need to advance the story, you roll and do something appropriate. There was one particular system that used this style of story progression, and the players and Big Bad all had generic names to better facilitate it (The Evil, The Barbarian, The Hunter, etc.) I think the name was Mythic or something. It's bugging me that I can't recall it.

Anyway, that's my view on the system you've created. If I were to make one system change, I might reduce it from a three-roll system to a two-roll system. I prefer simpler mechanics in general, I think having one roll to determine success/failure and one rollPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
